Text Alignment

Google Docs allows you to align text in 4 different ways.\

  • Left
  • Centred
  • Rght
  • Justified

By default, all text is allgned to the LEFT.

Changing the Alignment Options

To change the alignment, select the text you wish to change by highlighting it – such as our second paragraph.

And then select one of the four options in the formatting bar at the top.

Clicking on the drop down arrow next to the LEFT ALIGN button on the formatting bar, will reveal the four options. Click on one of the four options usimg your left mouse to select it.

Practise

Try changing all the other paragraphs to see how the text display changes with the different alignment options. 

Changing Fonts

Google includes over 2 dozen standard fonts, and changing fonts is easy.

Highlight the text you wish to change, and click the font options button in the formatting bar.

Your paragraph should now change to the new font.

 

Font Size

You can also change the size of your fonts. With your text highlighted, click the plus or minus keys on the text size options on the formatting bar  – or type the size font you want directly into the box in the middle, or click on the box in the middle to drop down and select a font size.’
